## Description

This playful story about a little girl and her best cat friend is a unique exploration of the changes children go through as they grow from toddler to big kid-for fans of Truman and Big Cat, Little Cat. Scamp believes there are two cats in her house-one pink (Scamp herself) and one black (Hector)-until her growing body begins behaving in not-so-catlike ways. She suddenly finds herself standing on two feet... eating with a spoon... even enjoying the bath. What is happening to her? But when Hector needs help, Scamp must choose between acting like a cat and taking a big-girl stand to rescue her friend. This sweet and poignant picture book, with inviting watercolor art by a debut talent, perfectly captures the moment when a little girl realizes she is becoming a big girl, and the universal bittersweet beauty of change.
